Persimmon Spice Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup persimmon pulp
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius). This will ensure that the ideal temperature is reached for baking.
2
Next, combine softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to cream the two ingredients together until they form a smooth consistency. Then, add one egg at a time and mix in some vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
3
Then, take another bowl and sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, a pinch of salt, ground cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This step is crucial in incorporating these dry ingredients into the sugar mixture.
4
Now, combine the sifted flour mixture with the creamed sugar mixture. Mix everything together until it forms a cohesive dough.
5
Add some dried fruits, chopped nuts, a pinch of salt, and persimmon pulp to the dough. Mix everything together until it's well combined.
6
Finally, use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop small balls of dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they're lightly golden brown. Remove them from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
